My personal taste leans toward xianxia, with a few showbiz stories and Western fantasy.
Joy in Life, Nothing Owed in Death: No-Romance Novels
After reading for many years and trying many different genres, I eventually became obsessed with novels without romance. Some people say I am young and unaware of sorrow, yet insist on calling it unforgettable love. Perhaps they are right. Maybe that is why I feel that having no romance really means having no troubles. ... The world of fiction is impossible to imagine. I still remember that the first novel I ever read was a fantasy story that pioneered the cultivation of alchemy, leaving me f

Good Reads Worth Checking Out: Xianxia, Wuxia, and Fantasy
Life is finite, but knowledge has no bounds; the paths of reincarnation stretch without end. The earth has borders, but the sky has none; thoughts of life and death are boundless. The Dao has no end, thoughts have no bounds; I turn back from the mortal world and choose not to become an immortal.

A Veteran Reader's 10-Year Spiritual Sustenance
I started reading Light Child back in middle school, and now I've been working for five years. I once tried writing a novel myself, but I just couldn't stick with it. I've spent over a decade reading, and I've found that the works by the big-name authors are getting harder and harder for me to enjoy. Yet when I sift through the sea of books, I still sometimes find a great story that's deeply satisfying. I've made this list to share the books I can still enjoy reading today. I hope we can appreci

It's not easy being a newbie, and traditional fantasy novels are also difficult to write. I sincerely ask for your support in terms of reading and voting! I am extremely grateful!
This old eunuch had many aliases and wrote books such as *The Immortal Toad*, *The Immortal Cicada*, *The Immortal Chat*, *Seeking the Dao in Liaozhai*, and *The Immortal Lu*. All were written by him, and each one was a good book, though he was born a eunuch.
The pursuit of immortality had been so difficult for the previous decades, with virtually no opportunities. Yet, the author immediately introduces all sorts of magical treasures and cultivation techniques, constantly popping up, which feels very unnatural and contrived.
The writing is really good, but the protagonist's character design is a failure so far. He has low cultivation level, makes enemies everywhere, and is indecisive. Despite having powerful backers behind the scenes, he is constantly being slapped in the face by clowns, which is very frustrating to read. The protagonist has to suppress himself whenever there is a happy event.
Damn TJ, what did you say when you put it on the shelves? Your words were like farts!
Thankfully, I've been burned by these Xianxia (fantasy/fantasy) authors so many times that I only gave them a first subscription. Over the years, countless Xianxia authors have vowed to finish their works, even though the beginnings were quite good. Then, out of nowhere, they abandon the project without a word, swallowing back all those promises.
After obtaining that spirit pearl, the plot takes off like a rocket, with every character practically begging to deliver the treasure. First, a kind master brings it, then a sect leader; the protagonist is truly the epitome of an overpowered protagonist. Of course, this isn't to say that such novels are bad; after all, light novels are the mainstream.
Does anyone have recommendations for classic cultivation novels like "Immortal Toad"? Thanks!
It was such a high-quality production, and it was abandoned! What are those newcomers who didn't even get contracts but still persisted supposed to think? 😁
Whose alternate account is this, so familiar with it? Let me avoid it...
